Windows Server 2003 R2 not only improved on the quota management built into the product, allowing granularity down to the user, but also added reporting and file screening. You can find more information on these new features at the following links:

Spaceguard works fine for our single site. We did not try the built in Windows quota at the time we switched to AD 4 years ago because the quota was by user. It may have gotten better in win2k3.
